there will be an RX-7. they said that Mazda is making it to compete with the new Supra theyre making.

Which issue? Scan it.

There already is an RX-7, and since when is Mazda making a new Supra?



English class is fun, kids.

MORE INFO NOOOOWW

Yeah I guess I assumed he was talking about a 4th gen rx7....https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

LMAO!

yes the new rx7 is almost a sure thing, the rx8 is built on the new miata platform and so is the new rx7, so its not like they have to develop a car from scratch, all they have to do is the interior/exterior



mike

I concur.

yup, not a word understood

theyre making a 4th gen rx7 to compete with the new supra that toyota is making.



which in actuality will suck because toyota announced that the supra will be developed as more of a sport grand touring then a standard sports car.



i dont like grand touring types of cars...i need to find the article about the new supra...



kevin.

I conquer too..

What exactly is a grand touring car? (as opposed to a standard sports car)

think... RX8.

i've heard rumors ranging from another twin straight 6 to a turbo version of the toyota v8.....anything else from you guys

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooo!

think wide, roomy, sedany, made for distance, high topend but not really kick-in-the-pants acceleration.



theres been rumors flying everywhere about the thing.



kevin.

Heres the pic from the road and track bit. The article is mostly speculation, but it is likely that there will be a 4th gen RX7.

That pic has been floating around forever now.

repost...guys i mentioned this 2 weeks ago

thought it was a new article sorry....and you didn't mention a new supra too. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png

That picture is ******* gross. I hate all the new car designs they've been coming out with lately.

I agree with Dramon Killer.. My FD is basically my dream car compared to all the 'new-better looking' cars.. the ones that do look half way decent compared to my FD are expensive..

looking at the back window, the 350Z comes to mind, as well as the SC430. why do all these cars have to look so ugly?

Well I dont expect the new rx-7 to out do the Fd in terms of speed. Handling and reliability is probably the only thing they can improve.



I spent some time on the supra sites and read all sorts of topics describing V6TT, V8's and even a V10. The Supra will probably end up in the price range of the SC430 and resemble it in many ways.

well with all the rumors flying, i'm gonna agree with joe. i really think they are gonna ***** it, making it big and conservative. i bet it's gonna be ugly as **** too

I'f seen this **** mentioned like 10x.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

A GT, or Grand Touring, car is one with a coupe body style. Sweet GT's that come to mind are the 360 Modena, Aston Vanquish/DB7, the current Supra (MKIV), the 3KGT, the 911.



What do all of those have in common? Simple, they're bigger then your average sports coupe, they're heavier then your average sports coupe, they're pricier, longer, wider, and most of all, they ALL have the rear glass slope long into the hatch.



So, are GT Coupes better then Sports Coupes, it depends. GT's usually have more power then their smaller nimbler siblings because if they want to compete, they need the extra power. They make up with top speed what they lack in aceleration and handling, and most importantly, they make up what they lack to sports coupes in style and beauty.



Lets face it, although the FD is a beautifull sports coupe, it doesn't have a lot of competiton in that department.

well said
